Good point. That being said, I can’t begin to imagine the condition of the fuel system on this car having sat for so many years. The pump isn’t the only thing that is going to need replacement. I just don’t understand the logic. Even putting the Martha stuff aside, do I have unrealistic

I asked them if they blocked the buyers who did this, and they said they did it immediately. Apparently, the buyers have no knowledge of being blocked. In one instance they know that the buyer got snagged by this as they sent the seller a nasty note about it after the auction ended. Heh.
